5. While the undersigned will not hold themselves responsible 
for the correctness of the description, genuineness, or authen- 
ticity of, or any fault or defect in, any Lot, and make no War- 
. ranty whatever, they will, upon receiving previous to date of 
Sale trustworthy expert opinion in writing that any Painting 
or other Work of Art is not what it is represented to be, use 
every effort on their part tc furnish proof to the contrary; fail- 
ing in which, the object or objects in question will be sold 
subject to the declaration of the aforesaid expert, he being 
liable to the Owner or Owners thereof, for damage or injury 
occasioned thereby. 


6. To prevent inaccuracy in delivery, and inconvenience in the 
settlement of the Purchases, no Lot can, on any account, be re- 
moved during the Sale. 

7. Upon failure to comply with the above conditions, the money 
deposited in part payment shall be forfeited; all Lots uncleared 
within one day from conclusion of Sale shall be re-sold by public 
or private sale, without further notice, and the deficiency (if any) 
attending such re-sale shall be made good by the defaulter at

although they will afford to purchasers every facility for em- 
ploying careful carriers and packers, they will not hold them- 
selves responsible for the acts and charges of the parties engaged

BANKS OF THE OISE 


From a grass-covered point in the left foreground 
the ground slopes to a low elevation in the middle dis- 
tance, where a red-roofed cottage stands overhung by 
poplars and other trees. A broad river extends diago- 
nally to the right and curves around between two hills. 
A peasant woman is washing clothes in the shallow water 
just beyond the spot where a boat is drawn up, and 


crossing the river from the opposite bank is a rowboat 


Bie with two occupants. The sky is filled with jagged clouds, 
suggesting the passing of a storm.

A youne officer, apparently on a pilgrimage from one 


post to another, pauses for a moment on a country road 
to look across the distant sea, where an ironclad is dimly 
seen in the distance. The figure is turned away from the 
spectator, the face being seen in profil perdu, and a 
sandy bank forms a low barrier between the road and 
the sea.

MARKET SCENE, CONSTANTINOPLE : i 


In an open space near a mosque is a street market with 
venders of pottery and fruit, and various articles of 
common use. Near the entrance to the mosque a group 
of men and women are gathered around a little booth, 
sheltered under two colored umbrellas. A number of 
horses from which the riders have dismounted stand 
nearby. Above the group rises a straggling tree, which 
is in strong relief against the white facade of a build-

Late in the afternoon a storm which has long been ra-

scattering clouds, markedly accentuating them here and 
there, and making strong contrasts of light and shade 
in the landscape. The foreground, which is in deep

bushes, and here and there a sturdy tree. Across a 
wooded plain in the middle distance there is seen in the 
horizon a flat-topped hill, broken here and there by 
clumps of trees.

Tuis is a view of a richly cultivated country where the 
farms are divided into small areas by shallow ditches 
and occasional fringes of bushes and small trees. In the 
distance, beyond pleasant grain fields, a rounded hill 
with long, sloping flank forms the horizon. High in the 
sky float a few tiny clouds and the landscape is lighted 
by a broad flood of sunlight radiating from the zenith.
